    I love your videos and now wish I went to more stores yesterday ? I live about 30 minutes away from any stores so have to do everything in one outing and just ran out of time. I did hit Target Clearance and found some “Halloween” Hot Wheels, a Paperooni Bat (my son keeps asking for these and didn’t want to pay full price) and some other stuff for half price. Yay for cheap stocking stuffers that don’t even look Halloween. Also just so you know, the Green Dotted Clearance in the $1 section is marked at 50% off but rang up at 75% off. Oh target also had Pretzels and Chips for half off but not sure what the price was.

    BTW—another of my SUPER DORK moments—-as I watched this video, I caught myself smiling and nodding at you as you explained what you were doing.

  3. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Love it! Love it! Love it! It’s nice to see the face behind all of the goodness on your site. Thanks for the videos!

  4. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I LOVE your shirt! I don’t know how much I listened to the tutorial, because I kept staring at your shirt thinking, “where did she get that!”

    Thanks for the video! You really are great!

  7. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

  8. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Great work, Collin! I also wanted to say that we found $2 costumes at TJMaxx. Lots of things were $1 and $2. Great for next year or just to play in! Love your Follow Me Mondays!

  9. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    If Collin went “public” and went on Oprah or something, then there wouldn’t be anything left on the shelves for US to buy!
    Let’s keep her OUR little (BIG) secret, OK!?

  10. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    No, really…I do love to tell friends and family about this site, I’m not TOTALLY serious about not sharing her…just had to say this! (I didn’t mean to sound snobby!)

  11. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

  18. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I just hit the Halloween clearance sections of Rite Aid, Target, and Walgreens and had a blast – I got some great things for next year, some that are just plain fun year round and some that will come in handy as treats on our next vacation. Thanks so much for the tips. Have a great day!

  19. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Lynn in AZ – I totally agree! Collin is awesome btut if everyone knows about her we’ll have to fight even harder for deals! (Not that I don’t want Collin to succeed – you guys know what I mean… 🙂 Another great video.

    Hey Hip,
    I love Follow me Monday! You are so great at coming up with things to do with Halloween clearance. I can’t wait for the after Christmas sales! How about a video showing us saving at your grocery store? I bet you have some great tips for that. Thanks for all you do. I love, love your blog and I tell all my friends about it.

  36. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    loved it- At Wal-mart yesterday we scammed the 50% off Halloween aisle… I got 2 BIG bags of mini tubs of play-doh for 2 bucks a piece! there are 24 little tubs in EACH, and a bag of critter tattoos- also 2 bucks. Great stocking stuffer and gift basket goodies for my son and his little friends! 🙂

  37. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    LOL YES! The last part of the clip..was that CVS? The lady came around the corner with her mouth open like she was so shocked! lol

    Its funny to see the people is ahhh! Do they ever ask you what your doing? lol Becoming a coupon super star you are!

  38. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Loved this week’s theme for Follow me Monday – I have to say though I am SO JEALOUS, it’s hot there? We had to wear long johns & winter coats to trick-or-treat and they are telling us to expect our first snow flurries this week! I wish it was warm enough to wear a t-shirt let alone hot! You are a lucky lucky girl!

  39. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    AAHH! Don’t taunt us with the warm weather 😉 hehe!

  40. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I went to Sam’s today and there were no boxes of popcorn with the Halloween theme on it. Boo! I either missed out, or they never had them. I did score 2 boxes of Betty Crocker (42 count) fruit snacks for 3.91. These are great for lunches, car rides, and I use them during shopping trips. They had the halloween books out, but at the register they were still full price.

    I also hit up CVS and I grabbed 2 bags of animal crackers and snack sized Granola bars for $1.00.

  41. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Love your follow me Mondays! I thought I was a good shopper sheesh!! I learn something new each week. I did the Walgreens and Target deals today and all Halloween stuff at my Target was 75% off today. I cleaned up. Also the Almay at Walgreens was BOGO. Great deals! Thanks so much. It’s like winning the lottery every day!!

  42. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Please tell your husband to contact us ASAP.
    Thank you,
    Target MGMT.

  43. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

  44. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    If you want to enjoy shopping on this black friday then their is no need to go outside.Only thing you want is the internet facility at your home and you also be a credit card owner.Kodak Gallery coupons

    Just wanted to share with everybody, at Sams anything that is priced with a one as the last number such as the fruit snacks that that viewer Mander wrote that she got for $3.91, will be the clearance price and the lowest price they will ever go down to! So this applies to furniture ect. so you know to jump on something or wait it out because it will go lower if there is still some left to mark down on clearance. Items left after clearance price they donate. Maybe Collin could do a tidbit on one of her Follow me Mondays about club shopping. I watch a special on like Good Morning America on tips and tricks and that one in the price is the only tip I remembered.
